Also...whatever that liquid actually is that builds up in the gutters around sidewalk street crossings.

I love CorePower and feel the same way. It's intimidating if you're new to the format and don't have the fitness to get through class. But once you do it a few times you realize no one is watching you or judging you.

Sounds normal. As people grow their family they typically head to the burbs for the boring life

It’s diverse, but not hectic as NY. You have a good amount of fine dinning options, the metro is so much better than many metro in other parts of the country. Buying a property here makes economical sense, since the fed government is here and has most of the workforce.

Because if you serve hard liquor, you have to maintain a 45%-55% food to mixed drink ratio (beer and wine don't count). You can't have a hole in the wall establishment that focuses on selling alcohol.
If you have a beer/wine only license, you have to sell $4,000 in food a month, no matter what. $2,000 of that must be in entrees.
Exceptions have been carved out over the years for entertainment venues, vineyards and breweries where alcohol is brewed on-premise, but these laws date back to the end of prohibition, and have basically stopped all dive bars from existing in Virginia.

i think it's reasonable to categorize something as a restaurant or bar based on whether it sells mostly food or drinks

None- I just don’t live in a constant state of fear. I mean you may as well publish domestic violence cases too which most likely are more. That’s equally as important.

I know you said opposite of CorePower but the C1 and HPF classes are really mild and chill. You can also look for candlelit classes on the schedule where the lights are out and you can flow at your own pace. Good luck!

If I can get 400+ sq ft with electricity I’m in business. I Feel that would be 50k+ where I am at in the Van Ness area.

We even have a self service emissions inspection kiosk which is basically open 24-7.

No more trying to beat the line at Half Street SW.

I’ve seen them for sale but they’re not super common, there just aren’t many of them and people usually want them

okay so they have to sell food, how does that not make it a bar?

Legally, VA does not have stand-alone bars. There are only restaurants that serve alcohol. Any establishment that serves alcohol must earn 51% of its revenue from food sales.

Pretty pumped for this. When I occasionally wander in I always look at the huge under construction aviary net/dome up by the elephants (where the gate is on the bridge) and play the Jurassic Park song in my head.

so just like every generation
people come for the action and opportunities when young, then after some years they get tired of having to deal with it all the time and move to the suburbs or florida

That's one of the things I like better in NYC! I love seeing tall buildings rising up into the sky.

Need to get down there and protest this. Organize as many people as possible and let D.C. Rental Housing Commission Chief Judge Lisa Gregory know that the RENT IS ALREADY TOO DAMN HIGH

Rent control has always been tied to inflation in DC. And I say this as someone who lives in a rent controlled apartment.
